The striker has made the switch to the League One outfit having scored a hat-trick against them for his parent club during a League Cup tie in late August.

"Obviously we have been tracking Joseph since he scored his hat-trick against us in the Capital One Cup. That game left a good impression of our club with Claudio Ranieri and he felt it that we are a good club for Joseph to come to," manager David Flitcroft told the club's official website.

"I'm delighted to be able to work with Joseph and I thank Leicester for allowing us to have him. Their excellent start to their season has allowed them to let him come out to us."

In total 20-year-old Dodoo has made four senior appearances for Leicester.
